About: Cierra is one of our more, ahem, experienced, monkeys. But she’s full of life, and you even may find her getting freaky on the dance grass on Saturday nights.

Today, she mostly hangs out as close as she can to the food supplies and gives passing monkeys withering looks. She’s getting up there in years, and monkey communities tend to reject their elders - meaning Cierra will probably spend the rest of her life hanging out at the Sanctuary instead of heading back to the wild. She’s good with that though; she mostly takes naps and eats bananas, so she has no interest in leaving her home.

Monkey Rehabilitation

Proyecto Caraya is the first and only primate rehabilitation center in Argentina, and the only one in the world that works with black howler monkeys.
